DESIGN WALL MONDAY

I managed to get lots of stitching on my hexagon quilt this week - a car trip to Kitchener, then back to Toronto then home provided lots of stitching time!

This is the beginning of a baby quilt for my nephew and his wife - baby is due October 20th. You'll have to wait to see what the alternate blocks look like!

My tall sons were visiting over the weekend, so I took advantage of their height and took pictures of some quilts.

Pushin' Up Spring

The Orient Visits Baltimore

The Baltimore quilt was made from a pattern by Fat Cat Patterns, using one called "Baltimore Bliss" that was offered as a BOM a while ago. Pushin' Up Spring was also a BOM offered by AppleBlossom Quilts. It was made using scraps except for the background of the blocks.

About Me

I've had a needle in my hands for most of my life. My Mother made sure that I could knit, crochet, embroider and sew. As a military spouse, I lived in many homes over the years. Needle arts kept me busy, making clothing for my family, decorative items for our home, and gifts for family and friends. Several years ago I caught the quilting bug, and have never looked back. I love all aspects of quilting, and am a prize winning machine quilter, using a domestic machine. I share my love of quilting with everyone I meet.
